The role of rocky coasts as depositional environments has been generally neglected by rock-
and depositional-coast workers. Although rock coasts can be hostile sedimentary …

The Schmidt Hammer, originally designed for testing the hardness of concrete in 1948, was
first used in a geomorphological context in the 1960s. Since then the advantages and …

Shore platforms are erosional coastal landforms that have attracted scientific attention since
the mid 19th century. The defining element of a platform is width that is used in many …

The last five years have been marked by rapid technological and analytical developments in
the study of shore processes and in the comprehension of shore deposits and forms, and …

The Schmidt Rock Test Hammer was used to study the effect of abrasion on shore platforms
in Galicia, northwestern Spain. On platforms where tidally-induced weathering (salt, wetting …

A mathematical model was used to study shore platform development. Mechanical wave
erosion was dependent on such variables as tidal range, wave height and period, breaker …

Marine and subaerial erosion of volcanic ocean islands form coastal cliffs and shore
platforms, particularly during stable sea levels. Posterosional lava flows can spill over these …

Co‐seismic uplift of Kaikōura Peninsula in 2016 has substantially reduced the number of
wetting and drying cycles that occur on the shore platforms and the newly uplifted incipient …

Most research on shore platforms has been at fairly large spatial scales over distances
ranging from hundreds to thousands of metres. Other work at much smaller scales, ranging …

The coast is an environment enjoyed by people around the world, yet it is also hazardous,
accounting for innumerable fatalities each year. The management of day-to-day hazards is …
